April 27, 2006 -- The bouncer charged with the savage slaying of
criminal-justice student Imette St. Guillen has been indicted in a
second attack - after his DNA showed up on handcuffs he allegedly
used to abduct another coed, sources said.
Ex-con Darryl Littlejohn will be named in the indictment expected to
be unsealed today in Queens.
The victim in that case, a 19-year-old York College student, was
seized on a Queens street Oct. 19, handcuffed by a man wearing
law-enforcement clothing and forced by him into a blue van.
She managed to fight him off and flee the van - still handcuffed.
Sources said the evidence against Littlejohn includes:
* His DNA found on the handcuffs;
* The victim's identification of Littlejohn's van as the one used in
the attack;
* Statements from Littlejohn's neighbors that he was always wearing
different types of law-enforcement clothing, like caps with police
insignia, or camouflage.
Littlejohn, who worked in a SoHo bar, had previously taken courses
to become a bounty hunter and was given access to law-enforcement
gear such as handcuffs.
At the bar, he often wore camouflage and talked about his escapades
- indicating he was working in law enforcement in some way.
Queens District Attorney Richard Brown's office confirmed that he
would announce the filing of an indictment today in the college
student's attack but did not identify the suspect or give other
details.
Littlejohn became a prime suspect in the Queens attack shortly after
the torture-slaying of St. Guillen, 24, a Boston native whose body
was found in a desolate section of Brooklyn 17 hours after she left
the SoHo bar.
